Work history

Deputy Editor
Jul 2015
Deputy Editor of Tram 22, an online music channel operating across multiple integrated platforms, which is listed on Hype Machine alongside the world's most influential music blogs. I write reviews and features about new music and related events, and assist the Editor in making sure the site remains up to date and well written.
Editor
Jul 2015
I am currently the Editor of AllAboutCareers.com and AllAboutLaw.com, two websites dedicated to bring careers-based news, advice and features to the Graduate, Undergraduate and School Leaver communities, with a focus on providing quality content in order to inform students of the choices available to them. The two websites attract over 200,000 independent users a month between them, and I write, commission or edit all content for both websites. Current affairs feature heavily in the news content of the site, and researching and producing exciting, relevant material is a key part of the role. In addition, AllAboutLaw produces a regular 20-page commercial insight newspaper, The Principle, of which I am an Editor and Features Writer. I am also responsible for adapting existing content for SEO optimisation and website traffic growth, and for producing shareable features to drive up unique website views and lower site bounce rate.
